Every recent new version of MS Office has included several features which make it incompatible with older versions. Save a file in MS Word 2007 .docx format and MS Word 2003 wouldn't know what to do with it. Adobe .pdf never changes thus it's a standard.

Re: [Elecraft] K3_P3_160_CW
Ken, Maybe I'm missing something, but I would expect the noise floor to drop on a receiving antenna - assuming the RX antenna is a lower noise antenna than the transmit antenna - you are looking at the atmospheric noise and not the receiver noise floor. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/17/2011 3:21 PM, Ken Roberson wrote: Wayne, While working 160M DX last winter I noticed that when I Switch from RX antenna (Beverage) and back to TX antenna That the base line (Noise floor) on the P3 was about 2 S unites Less than when I changes to the RX antenna.

Those settings would then be 'applied' to whichever receiver(s) are using that input.

[Elecraft] K2: CAT control of K2/100 with HRD
Hi My K2/100 has been functioning well, and I am now trying for the first time to use the connection on the 100W amplifier unit for CAT control with Ham Radio Deluxe. The K2 is serial number 6679, so apparently no modifications are needed. The side-tone works. I fashioned the cable as per instructions (and there is continuity where there should be), turned on the port function on the K2, set the baud rate on HRD to 48,000. However, the HRD is unable to read the frequency. Am I missing something obvious? Is some driver needed, or some further modification to the K2 or amplifier circuitry?

Re: [Elecraft] [K2]Speaker Quit
Curt, Yes, the 3 pins at the rear of the switch are the ones for the switch, and it is integral to the jack housing. I can't recall which two of the 3 pins close the speaker circuit, but since your speaker does not work, check continuity - the two that show continuity are NOT the ones for the speaker - if you want a quick fix while waiting for the replacement jack, short the two pins that are currently open, and your speaker should come alive again. If you need to silence the speaker, put an empty plug into the external speaker jack. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/18/2011 11:18 AM, Curt wrote: Thanks Don, Is the part number you mentioned for the entire jack?

Re: [Elecraft] K2: CAT control of K2/100 with HRD
Stephen, I am running HRD version 5.0, build 2837 with my K2/100. The KPA100 is mounted in the K2 case and, like you, I am also running Win XP. I did not have to make any changes to the serial cable (used with K2/10 KIO2) or add any drivers to XP. Quite simply, I unhooked the K2/10, added the KPA100 to the K2, and reconnected the serial cable. It all magically worked. Hope this helps. Regards, Jay AJ4AY Mobile, AL Hi My K2/100 has been functioning well, and I am now trying for the first time to use the connection on the 100W amplifier unit for CAT control with Ham Radio Deluxe. The K2 is serial number 6679, so apparently no modifications are needed. The side-tone works. I fashioned the cable as per instructions (and there is continuity where there should be), turned on the port function on the K2, set the baud rate on HRD to 48,000. However, the HRD is unable to read the frequency. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] K3 custom extended sides
Mike, I have the ones for the K2 and K3. David was very good to work with on the K3 plates. Since he did not have any at the time, I sent him my stock side plates and he made the new ones using those as a template. He returned the stock plates with the new thicker plates. The new parts give both the K2 and K3 a little more stiffness and weight, plus a nice look. Could not be happier with David's work... Now, this was right after I got my K3, #98. So, it has been a while. Not sure what the status of the company is now. 73, Henry Pollock - K4TMC K2/100 #3137 K3/100 #98 -Original Message- From: a...@sbcglobal.net To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Mon, Apr 18, 2011 5:22 pm Subject: [Elecraft] K3 custom extended sides Has anyone had dealings with Saylors Machine Shop and ordered the extended sides for the K3?

Re: [Elecraft] K2: CAT control of K2/100 with HRD
Steve, It seems you have done everything right, and have a hardware failure on your hands. Since you have not used the RS-232 port before - it is possible that it did not work when the KPA100 was first built. The first thing to check is continuity for RFC6, RFC7, and RFC8 on the KPA100 board (near the DE-9 connector). It is also possible that U4 on the KPA100 board has been damaged. Yes, all the modifications for the serial port are included on any K2 control board SN 3000 and above. If you have a wire on Control Board P4 pin 1, that indicates that the wiring change was incorrectly applied to your Control Board, and should be backed off - in that case you will have to find what trace was really cut (it was not the trace going to pin 25) and repair that cut with a point to point wire. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/18/2011 12:14 PM, Stephen Victor wrote: Hi My K2/100 has been functioning well, and I am now trying for the first time to use the connection on the 100W amplifier unit for CAT control with Ham Radio Deluxe.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 custom extended sides
I ordered a K3 set a week or so ago via email davesayl...@yahoo.com. I got a response reasonably quickly, but there has not been enough time for them to be shipped yet. Even with the best service. They seem to have some other product lines, so I imagine that these are not their primary business concern, and that is fine with me. I am planning to have them powder coated when I get them. Henry, could you answer a quick question? Do they require longer screws to install? Jim K0XU On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 5:37 PM, k4...@aol.com wrote: Mike, I have the ones for the K2 and K3.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 Manual Updates
Kevin (and all), It would be a mistake but not for that reason. The newer ActiveX formatted documents and spreadsheets are compatible with earlier versions of Word and Excel back to 2000 if you add Microsoft's free document converter add-ons available from: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx as a Compatibility Pack. The reason it's a mistake is that it allows others to edit, perhaps incorrectly, the content yet in some circles Elecraft could still be held responsible and that just isn't acceptable. Their current method is a very acceptable compromise between accuracy and cost.

Kevin Stover Sent: Monday, April 18, 2011 4:52 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] P3 Manual Updates That would be a mistake. Biggest reason is the MS Word format isn't static. Every recent new version of MS Office has included several features which make it incompatible with older versions. Save a file in MS Word 2007 .docx format and MS Word 2003 wouldn't know what to do with it. Adobe .pdf never changes thus it's a standard. All you have to do to add errata to the .pdf manuals is get a free .pdf editor like PDF Creator, add the errata to an electronic version of the manual and save it. Your manual is always up to date.
